this Wednesday, It's eleven twelve, twenty four. Is today to
day Bill Belichick goes back to college. Well, Bill Belichick
has an offer to coach North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
So what happens next?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Also, why would Bill Belichick want to coach the Tarials?
One thing to flirt with him, but to actually take
the job. And Lane Kevin, the coach over at Old
Miss says, it's really dumb to open the transfer portal
before the bulls. Do you agree or disagree with that?
We'll get to all of it. We'll flip the script
right now, pull back the curtain. It's our number four.
(00:46):
Have a wonderful Wednesday. It's all about the Bill. But
what will the Bill do?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Come in not beginning of another hour The Ben Malors Show.

guys big fans of the number ten thousand. So our
lead this hour is from the NFL, kind of the NFL.
It's really from the world of college football. But it's
a hybrid story which works. It's from North Carolina, and
that is where many are sleepless.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
They're up.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
They've been up all night listening to our show, waiting
for a decision.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Decision twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You thought the election was back in November, but no, no, no,
So if you've not been following along, we have a
dramatic update. We have learned that Bill Belichick spending the
night considering a standing offer to become the next head
coach of the University of North Carolina. Foot Maall Tarhills
(02:44):
say what, Yeah, Belichick spent hours meeting with the muckety
MUCKs at North Carolina. We learned about that last week,
and now we have been told the athletic tells us
that there is an offer. The negotiations have said be ongoing.
But Bill Belichick, after sitting out the twenty twenty four season,
(03:07):
he thought he was gonna get the Atlanta Falcon job,
and they hired Raheem Morris. They sucked and Raheem Morris
proving he's a bad head coach.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But anyway, that's in the past.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And so there is a path now to return to
the sidelines for Bill Belichick at North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But the waiting game is going on right now.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Is today the day, the eleventh day of December, is
today the day that Bill Belichick makes the move? So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Bill
Belichick has an offer to coach North Carolina's college football Tarhills.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
What happens next? So I've got.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hearing aid, parachute, and blind spots, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make grits, which Bill Belichick will be eating a lot
of a lot of grits if he's in North Carolina.
So to lead off, what happens obviously is the balls
(04:17):
in Bill Belichick's court, right And now it's.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Not no haggling. It's haggling. Belichick knows that North Carolina wants,
so now he can up the ante. Okay, you want me, Now,
I want X, Y and Z. It's a negotiation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
My intuition tells me, my horse sense tells me that
what Belichick is planning on doing here is taking this
offer and shopping it around theoretically, of course, using the
useful idiots in the media as messenger pigeons his buddies,
and Belichick what he's gonna then do is turned the
(05:01):
volume up on his hearing aid and just listen. The
streets are talking. Can Bill Belichick parlay the North Carolina
interest into a gig from some NFL team? Is there
some aristocrat that's out there, an NFL owner that is
(05:22):
willing to offer Bill Belichick a coaching job, worried that
they're gonna lose Bill Belichick to North Carolina? The Giants,
they haven't fired Brian Dable yet most assume that's going
to happen. The Jets have already fired Robert Salah, so
that jobs that job's open. So would some NFL team
(05:45):
cut North Carolina off at the pass, keeping him from
going to the acc Developing hot dot dot dot. Now, furthermore,
the question we debated this in a previous episodisode of
the show. We have some more clarity now, but why
would Bill Belichick want to coach the tar Hills.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why would he so?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
The obvious answer is he wouldn't want that. We know
that his preference is the NFL. He has worked in
the NFL since the nineteen seventies. You can't beat Don
Schuler's record by winning games. No matter how many games
you win in the Atlantic Coast Conference, you cannot beat
(06:31):
Don Shul's record.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Those wins don't count. And last I checked, and maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The position has changed on this, but college football is
a two conference situation. It's two league situation. You have
the the Big Ten and you have the SEC the
ACC Small potatoes night, small potatoes doesn't really matter. Everything
else is just on the back burner. Now that if
(07:01):
Bill Belichick is somehow blackballed out of the NFL because
he's too old or too bitter and too broken and.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
He's in a moral he's got that young girl.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If people are like that, okay, well, North Carolina would
provide a really nice parachute, a really nice golden parachute,
not for Belichick. Belichick's made his money. He's made a
lot of money from the Patriots, and he's well off.
But not only would Belichick be able to get a gig,
(07:37):
he would turn the tar Hill job into a golden
parachute for one of his kids. So he would have that,
because what would happen the tar Hills would be a
launching pad. The whole selling point is, hey, I know
everything about the NFL. I'm the greatest coach in the world.
You know Don Shulan ever coached in college football when
he was done coaching the Dolphins, And I could prepare
(07:58):
you for the NFL. And I got some rich guys
who love North Carolina that would pay you nil money.
But Bill Belichick would serve as the coach emeritus, if
you will, at some point here, eventually passing the batad
to his son Steve Belichick, who would be the coach
in waiting to replace him. The line of secession the
(08:18):
changing of the guard, and so Belichick would coach at
North Carolina for a couple of years and then Steve
Belichick would take over. Now, if you remember, and I
feel I used to do shows on the other station
in Boston when there were rumors even back then that Belichick,
you know, how long was he going to last?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
He was going to replace Belichick?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And I had heard from my boots on the ground
in Boston that this was always Belichick's dream. Bill Belichick's
dream with the Patriots was to coach long enough to
break Don Shuler's record and then have one of his
kids replace him as the head coach of the Patriots.
Now he was usurped by Robert Kraft, who went on
a trip to Israel with Gerrod Mayo and said I
(08:58):
like Mayo, and I want a Mayo sandwich as my coach.
And so Gerrod Mayo got the job. Doesn't appear he
knows what he's doing. But the smart money, if you
really want to play chess while everyone else is playing checkers,
it's actually I was texting a buddy of mine about this,
would say, if Belichick really wants to be the ultimate
(09:21):
weasel dude, what he would do? Take the North Carolina
job this week? Say I am so happy to be here.
I love North Carolina. I just I can't get enough
of it, the whole state, the whole state.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Of North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
And then.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Month or two from now, probably a month I would
give it a month. The coaching carousel in the NFL
mid January to early February. So you take the job
at North Carolina, and then in late January that say
you resign because the New York Giants said, hey, we
(09:59):
really he wants you to go. And then Steve Belichick
gets the job at North Carolina because they can't get
anybody else. And you get an NFL job, and you say,
check mate, check mate.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
All right, last thing.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We stay now with collegiate football, that doom and gloom.
We moved to the Southeastern Conference where Ole Miss football
coach Lane Kiffin is blowing the whistle on the NC
DOUBLEA the people in.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Charge, Now, what is the upset about? You see this?
Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Very critical of the transfer portal opening up between the
end of the regular season and the ball games now
in preparation for the upcoming Gator Bowl. Who doesn't like
the Gator Bowl? Old Miss and Duke Old Miss and Duke.
So Lane Kiffin said, quote, it really is a dumb system.
(10:56):
Think about what we're talking about, and then he mentioned
the Duke quarterback Malik Murphy, who is in the portal
prior to the ball game Kiffin then pointed out the
season is not over yet and there's a free agency
window open. It's like you get the NFL, he says,
get ready for the AFC of the NFC playoffs the postseason,
(11:16):
but the players are in free agency, and so he
ripped the system. He says, it needs to get fixed.
It someday it will get fixed. So Lang Kiffin says,
it is a really dumb thing to open up the
transfer portal before the bowl games. Agree or disagree, So
I don't know how you could disagree with this, I
(11:40):
seriously don't.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If you do disagree, you're a clown.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But this is a refresher course that the academically smart
people amongst us can also be complete idiots when it
comes to certain situations. A lot of people talk about
books smart versus street smart, but this is just a
case where smart people have a blind spot and it's
(12:04):
a little bit of a mental glitch that can affect
their reasoning abilities. For example, or go leaving the transfer
portal open before the bowl games, and that the NFL
cuts off trades but college does not. And now also
you could argue that coaches shouldn't be hired like in
(12:26):
the NFL until the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That's a sidebar issue.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
This is a college football issue. I'd also like to
point out that the USC football program, Blane Kiffin's familiar
with that got fired on a tarmac at an airport.
But the head coach there at sc came out, Lincoln Riley,
and essentially said, every year you're a free agent.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's essentially what he.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Said, and that every even though you get a scholarship,
because of the amount of money and the limited roster availability,
that every year, you know certain guys you don't want
them or they don't want to be there, so you're
gonna lose guys. Some guys are gonna kick off the team,
essentially because of the way the portal works and all
(13:15):
that and the limited space, which is it's just the
way of the world for now. It's not gonna last forever. Eventually,
there'll be some kind of government interference. There'll be some
blue ribbon panel that comes in, it puts a bunch
of regulations on. It'll start out with good intentions and
then all of a sudden, it's kind of like the
(13:35):
United States, right they started to get away from taxes
and people left Europe to come to the US the
taxation without representation, and now we gave the story earlier
Juan Soto his contract with the New York mess not
that we feel bad for Juan Soto by any means.
We do not feel bad for Juan Soto. But Juan
(13:57):
Soto signing the massive contract with the New York match
three hundred and not three hundred. By the time he's done,
he's gonna get three hundred or about four hundred, seven
hundred and sixty five million dollar contract federal, state, and
municipal government taxes.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
They're gonna collect between three hundred sixty four and three
hundred sixty three hundred and eighty six million in taxes
on that contract.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So go buy a lot of a lot of things
and pay a lot of salaries for the government.
Speaker 1 (14:32):

Speaker 1 (16:22):
At the scene of the Italian it is I Bill Miller,
Happy Holidays, John Did and couple of legends Rest in peace,
beer drinking Brian. Believe this is a J. Scoop song
if I remember correctly. Go Chris baces a good amount
of time there in the Ukraine. He's back. We're gonna
(16:43):
get him on the show at some point. So that's
the stories from his trip to the Ukraine. I was

Mahler also FSR tech queen for Loraina and a Bronco
fan for the Kobaloop.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And you could promote the show. You can be part
of our guerrilla marketing campaign. We have no advertising budget.
Nobody even knows we exist other than word of mouth advertising.
And we learned earlier if you go back and hear
the podcast that the show does very well in a
country in northern Africa, Mariitania and you the hero of Desert.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
We have a lot of downloads.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We've determined we think that there's a lot of our
listeners there in the international podcast download section because that
is where the world's largest ship graveyard is. So we
don't know that we're right about this. We assume that
there's some American workers there that are going through the
old ships.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
That are at the graveyard, the ship graveyard there, and.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
They listen to us while they're is it is it?
I don't know what determines. I saw a documentary on this.
It was actually very interesting. Take that Forgatta I forgot
So I don't want to say something, but it would
sound terrible, and I don't want to say that word
because then it'll be made into a drop.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And no, I'm not gonna say it. I'm not I'm
not gonna say it.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We began this hour where they Bill Belichick Mallard monologue.
Kevin in Florida writes in and says, maybe Bill Belichick
no longer cares about the Don Schulee record because he
knows that Andy Ree is going to blow past both
of them. Well, that's not a bad take, knowing Belichick
a little bit from his public persona. Though Belichick is
(19:06):
arrogant enough to think that he would do so well
in the NFL that, yeah, Andy Reid's gonna win a lot,
but Belichick's gonna go somewhere and be back on top
of the mountain and it's gonna be fine and everything
be great. But yeah, as long as Andy Reid keeps
his health in check. There with the Chiefs, Andy Reid
(19:26):
is fourth all time, and he's thirty two wins behind
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Thirty two wins, which seems like a lot. That seems
like a lot. He's coached three years less.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Than Belichick in the NFL as a head coach. Belichick
coach twenty nine, Andy Reids at twenty six. Let's say
Kansas City they win at least three more games this
year in the regular season, we'll give him another loss.
Let's say they win three more games. That gets him
to two seventy three, and so then you do the
math on that, and he is he's thirty two right now,
(20:04):
so he'd be twenty nine back. That's at least Kansas
is going minimum twelve games a year the next couple
of years, So he'd have to coach three more years
Andy Reid, and then he would pass Belichick by but
he's still fifty eight wins away.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
From Don Schuler.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
So a lot of fun with numbers, fun with numbers.
They said there would be no numbers. Fun with numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Stephen met Pauls who loves the Dolphins he's in Florida,
also says no, no, no, Ben brainstem. Billy is dumb,
but he's not stupid. Shula's three hundred forty seven wins
is off the radar. Andy Reid is going to surpass
both of them in five minus six years, so it's
a moot point. Plus he knows he's lost his edge
(20:58):
in the pros and his son sucks, so back to
school for both.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Says Stevie Meatballs.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, I've not heard any rumors about Andy Reid like
retiring or anything like that, although usually you don't make
those decisions. See, Andy's sixty six years old, and if
he can coach another four years, he's gonna have to
go five. Yeah, I need to have to go to
like seventy one or so sixty six right now. So
(21:29):
if he can get four more years, he'll definitely pass
Belichick and George Hallis. And but he's got to get
that he's got to get that five year period and
Mahomes has to stay healthy all five years. I just
love the fact that when Andy Reid took over as
the head coach of the Eagles many many years ago,
I took over as he coach.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
Come back.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's been twenty five years and I was doing local
sports radio in LA and our producer said, I booked
Andy Reid.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I said, who the f is Andy Reid?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And the producers like, well, he's a quarterback coach for
the Green Bay Packers, but he's going to be the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Said coach. I said, well, why are we having He's
from LA.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, he worked as a vendor at Dodger Stadium
and all that stuff, and it was fine, it was great.
And he talked about eating. Most of the interviews about
him eating Tommy's cheeseburgers, Huli cheeseburgers, and then he would
go on to have this amazing career coaching.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I mean, the guy got to a Super Bowl with
Andy Reid.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Or Adie Reeve got to Super Bowl with Donovan McNab,
excuse me with Donovan McNab. Puked my god, Justin and
Cincinnati says the Africans loved the show. That is one
of the all time great photos. Justin Femi the Uber.
Each driver in Minnesota took that. I actually have a
copy of the pizza. That is one of my favorite
(22:47):
photos from doing the show. And it's a bunch of
children there in Africa and they've got a giant poster
of our show. I have no idea who I am,
but they're posing for the photo and there.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Looks like their pajamas. They're just outstanding. Let's go to
the phones. Let's say hello to.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Eenie Meenie, miney Moe. Angry Bill is up next. Hello
Angry Bill in Florida. Who's got his Max Freed bobblehead
out right now?
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Not really, Ben, The Yankees are what they are. They're proven.
That doesn't matter. They don't know how to develop players,
and they'll go somewhere along the line screw up there.
They don't know how to run a team.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
They don't know the way you just called up yesterday.
I said you wanted them to spend the money that
we're gonna spend on one Sodo, on pitchers like Max Freed.
They have now signed Max Freed and now you don't care.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
No, I don't care if I'm a winning Okay, I don't.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
I want them to win. But the problem they have
is they don't have people capable of running the team. Okay,
But my point of my phone call today is about
none other than Kaitlin Clark. She she not only generated
money for the WNBA it's forty five million a year.
She generated thirty eight million dollars for the town she
played in. She just got put on the front page
(24:11):
of Time magazine, not ESPN, not Playboy, Time magazine and
would go to the athlete of the year, that male athlete,
no woman athlete, athlete.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
Of the year.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
This woman is unbelievable. She is going to keep going
on and on and on. But you don't want to
talk about her. Why talk about a person's just got
put on the front page of Time magazine.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
If you know the zay build, nobody reads Time magazine.
You might, but nobody under the age of like seventy
reads Time magazine.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I know it's blue and red, now, Ben, it's blue
and red. If it's readit is blue a year, it's blue. Regid.

Magazines were very when I was a kid. Magazines were big,
but nobody reads them now, I don't even.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
When you were.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
When you were you were big. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (25:03):

She's cat in her soul. Lorena.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
I wouldn't touch her with a thirty nine and a
half foot pole.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Black pay others more. No, it's that's enough. We're good
thank you for that Christmas songs. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Douglas writes in from Mississippi, says, any idea what happened
to Half Pint? Is she still alive or listening? Well,
I did actually hear from half Pint, although it's very odd.
I think I mentioned this on the podcast one of
these weekends. But I got a message on Facebook from.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
The beer drinking Brian.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Account, and he's been dead for a number of years,
and it was half Pint using his Facebook page to
contact me saying that she wanted to call into the show.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
She was asking what the number was. Of course we've
used the same number for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
But anyway, she's out there still, but she never actually
called in, so I don't know what happened. Super Market
Steve Wright since says angry Bill needs to stop with
this Caitlin Clark stick. Everyone knows that I was the
first one to ever bring up her name on the
show and to chastise you for not announcing when she
broke a record. Now, congratulations, Now you're fighting over Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
What a bunch of losers. Fergdog says Ben, what is
a magazine? It's a great question. It's great.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It's something that used to be very important, but then
this thing called the Internet came up, and then.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
That torpedoed torpedoed it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, let's sello to Marcel in Brooklyn. I do need
some contestants. We're gonna have password the word Game of
the Stars, and if you'd like to play password.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Call right now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
I did want to mention there's a big controversy involving
the father. Marcel. Do you hear what happened with Larry
Fitzgerald's father? Do you hear about this?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, So Larry Fitzgerald was a star with the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
His father is a Minnesota sports writer, and his dad
sent out Larry Fitzgerald's dad sent out of comment on
social media saying that he knows that Randy Moss is
suffering from a certain type of cancer. But no, he
hasn't died, but he took a leave of absence and
(29:47):
so Randy Moss did not release this information.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Randy Moss's son said, this is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You have no right to try to make private matters
public for the sake of engagement. I do not believe
my father talked you, so check your effing sources and
he denied that the report is accurate.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
But we don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
But it was just very odd Larry Fitzgerald's father, like
of all the people, of all the people, what in
the world, As.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Jackie Slater would say, what are you doing? Like serious?
This reminds memory Kurt Shilling.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
He outed Tim Wakefield and his wife having brain cancer
before they both passed away.

It's a little decorm, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I know your engagement and all that stuff, but come on,
if people don't want their if people don't want their
business out there, and people have given me things in
confidence and I try to respect their wishes and it
kills me. Sometimes I want to say stuff, but I'm
not allowed to say it anyway, Marcel, you didn't.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The best kept secret underground The Ben Malors Show. On
this Wednesday, It's eleven twelve, twenty four. Is today to
day Bill Belichick goes back to college. Well, Bill Belichick
has an offer to coach North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
So what happens next?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Also, why would Bill Belichick want to coach the Tarials?
One thing to flirt with him, but to actually take
the job. And Lane Kevin, the coach over at Old
Miss says, it's really dumb to open the transfer portal
before the bulls. Do you agree or disagree with that?
We'll get to all of it. We'll flip the script
right now, pull back the curtain. It's our number four.
(00:46):
Have a wonderful Wednesday. It's all about the Bill. But
what will the Bill do?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Come in not beginning of another hour The Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
We are in the air everywhere Polka pals as we
are as sound as a pound, coast, the coast, border,
the voter and beyond on the mass and articulately sometimes
powerful microphones of fsr M monating live from the machine,

Ti rac dot com The Way Tire Buying Show b
I know InKo, Terror and Daniel who loves WrestleMania. Those
(01:54):
guys big fans of the number ten thousand. So our
lead this hour is from the NFL, kind of the NFL.
It's really from the world of college football. But it's
a hybrid story which works. It's from North Carolina, and
that is where many are sleepless.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
They're up.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
They've been up all night listening to our show, waiting
for a decision.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Decision twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You thought the election was back in November, but no, no, no,
So if you've not been following along, we have a
dramatic update. We have learned that Bill Belichick spending the
night considering a standing offer to become the next head
coach of the University of North Carolina. Foot Maall Tarhills
(02:44):
say what, Yeah, Belichick spent hours meeting with the muckety
MUCKs at North Carolina. We learned about that last week,
and now we have been told the athletic tells us
that there is an offer. The negotiations have said be ongoing.
But Bill Belichick, after sitting out the twenty twenty four season,
(03:07):
he thought he was gonna get the Atlanta Falcon job,
and they hired Raheem Morris. They sucked and Raheem Morris
proving he's a bad head coach.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But anyway, that's in the past.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And so there is a path now to return to
the sidelines for Bill Belichick at North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But the waiting game is going on right now.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Is today the day, the eleventh day of December, is
today the day that Bill Belichick makes the move? So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Bill
Belichick has an offer to coach North Carolina's college football Tarhills.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
What happens next? So I've got.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hearing aid, parachute, and blind spots, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make grits, which Bill Belichick will be eating a lot
of a lot of grits if he's in North Carolina.
So to lead off, what happens obviously is the balls
(04:17):
in Bill Belichick's court, right And now it's.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Not no haggling. It's haggling. Belichick knows that North Carolina wants,
so now he can up the ante. Okay, you want me, Now,
I want X, Y and Z. It's a negotiation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
My intuition tells me, my horse sense tells me that
what Belichick is planning on doing here is taking this
offer and shopping it around theoretically, of course, using the
useful idiots in the media as messenger pigeons his buddies,
and Belichick what he's gonna then do is turned the
(05:01):
volume up on his hearing aid and just listen. The
streets are talking. Can Bill Belichick parlay the North Carolina
interest into a gig from some NFL team? Is there
some aristocrat that's out there, an NFL owner that is
(05:22):
willing to offer Bill Belichick a coaching job, worried that
they're gonna lose Bill Belichick to North Carolina? The Giants,
they haven't fired Brian Dable yet most assume that's going
to happen. The Jets have already fired Robert Salah, so
that jobs that job's open. So would some NFL team
(05:45):
cut North Carolina off at the pass, keeping him from
going to the acc Developing hot dot dot dot. Now, furthermore,
the question we debated this in a previous episodisode of
the show. We have some more clarity now, but why
would Bill Belichick want to coach the tar Hills.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why would he so?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
The obvious answer is he wouldn't want that. We know
that his preference is the NFL. He has worked in
the NFL since the nineteen seventies. You can't beat Don
Schuler's record by winning games. No matter how many games
you win in the Atlantic Coast Conference, you cannot beat
(06:31):
Don Shul's record.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Those wins don't count. And last I checked, and maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The position has changed on this, but college football is
a two conference situation. It's two league situation. You have
the the Big Ten and you have the SEC the
ACC Small potatoes night, small potatoes doesn't really matter. Everything
else is just on the back burner. Now that if
(07:01):
Bill Belichick is somehow blackballed out of the NFL because
he's too old or too bitter and too broken and.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
He's in a moral he's got that young girl.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If people are like that, okay, well, North Carolina would
provide a really nice parachute, a really nice golden parachute,
not for Belichick. Belichick's made his money. He's made a
lot of money from the Patriots, and he's well off.
But not only would Belichick be able to get a gig,
(07:37):
he would turn the tar Hill job into a golden
parachute for one of his kids. So he would have that,
because what would happen the tar Hills would be a
launching pad. The whole selling point is, hey, I know
everything about the NFL. I'm the greatest coach in the world.
You know Don Shulan ever coached in college football when
he was done coaching the Dolphins, And I could prepare
(07:58):
you for the NFL. And I got some rich guys
who love North Carolina that would pay you nil money.
But Bill Belichick would serve as the coach emeritus, if
you will, at some point here, eventually passing the batad
to his son Steve Belichick, who would be the coach
in waiting to replace him. The line of secession the
(08:18):
changing of the guard, and so Belichick would coach at
North Carolina for a couple of years and then Steve
Belichick would take over. Now, if you remember, and I
feel I used to do shows on the other station
in Boston when there were rumors even back then that Belichick,
you know, how long was he going to last?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
He was going to replace Belichick?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And I had heard from my boots on the ground
in Boston that this was always Belichick's dream. Bill Belichick's
dream with the Patriots was to coach long enough to
break Don Shuler's record and then have one of his
kids replace him as the head coach of the Patriots.
Now he was usurped by Robert Kraft, who went on
a trip to Israel with Gerrod Mayo and said I
(08:58):
like Mayo, and I want a Mayo sandwich as my coach.
And so Gerrod Mayo got the job. Doesn't appear he
knows what he's doing. But the smart money, if you
really want to play chess while everyone else is playing checkers,
it's actually I was texting a buddy of mine about this,
would say, if Belichick really wants to be the ultimate
(09:21):
weasel dude, what he would do? Take the North Carolina
job this week? Say I am so happy to be here.
I love North Carolina. I just I can't get enough
of it, the whole state, the whole state.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Of North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
And then.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Month or two from now, probably a month I would
give it a month. The coaching carousel in the NFL
mid January to early February. So you take the job
at North Carolina, and then in late January that say
you resign because the New York Giants said, hey, we
(09:59):
really he wants you to go. And then Steve Belichick
gets the job at North Carolina because they can't get
anybody else. And you get an NFL job, and you say,
check mate, check mate.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
All right, last thing.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We stay now with collegiate football, that doom and gloom.
We moved to the Southeastern Conference where Ole Miss football
coach Lane Kiffin is blowing the whistle on the NC
DOUBLEA the people in.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Charge, Now, what is the upset about? You see this?
Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Very critical of the transfer portal opening up between the
end of the regular season and the ball games now
in preparation for the upcoming Gator Bowl. Who doesn't like
the Gator Bowl? Old Miss and Duke Old Miss and Duke.
So Lane Kiffin said, quote, it really is a dumb system.
(10:56):
Think about what we're talking about, and then he mentioned
the Duke quarterback Malik Murphy, who is in the portal
prior to the ball game Kiffin then pointed out the
season is not over yet and there's a free agency
window open. It's like you get the NFL, he says,
get ready for the AFC of the NFC playoffs the postseason,
(11:16):
but the players are in free agency, and so he
ripped the system. He says, it needs to get fixed.
It someday it will get fixed. So Lang Kiffin says,
it is a really dumb thing to open up the
transfer portal before the bowl games. Agree or disagree, So
I don't know how you could disagree with this, I
(11:40):
seriously don't.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If you do disagree, you're a clown.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But this is a refresher course that the academically smart
people amongst us can also be complete idiots when it
comes to certain situations. A lot of people talk about
books smart versus street smart, but this is just a
case where smart people have a blind spot and it's
(12:04):
a little bit of a mental glitch that can affect
their reasoning abilities. For example, or go leaving the transfer
portal open before the bowl games, and that the NFL
cuts off trades but college does not. And now also
you could argue that coaches shouldn't be hired like in
(12:26):
the NFL until the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That's a sidebar issue.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
This is a college football issue. I'd also like to
point out that the USC football program, Blane Kiffin's familiar
with that got fired on a tarmac at an airport.
But the head coach there at sc came out, Lincoln Riley,
and essentially said, every year you're a free agent.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's essentially what he.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Said, and that every even though you get a scholarship,
because of the amount of money and the limited roster availability,
that every year, you know certain guys you don't want
them or they don't want to be there, so you're
gonna lose guys. Some guys are gonna kick off the team,
essentially because of the way the portal works and all
(13:15):
that and the limited space, which is it's just the
way of the world for now. It's not gonna last forever. Eventually,
there'll be some kind of government interference. There'll be some
blue ribbon panel that comes in, it puts a bunch
of regulations on. It'll start out with good intentions and
then all of a sudden, it's kind of like the
(13:35):
United States, right they started to get away from taxes
and people left Europe to come to the US the
taxation without representation, and now we gave the story earlier
Juan Soto his contract with the New York mess not
that we feel bad for Juan Soto by any means.
We do not feel bad for Juan Soto. But Juan
(13:57):
Soto signing the massive contract with the New York match
three hundred and not three hundred. By the time he's done,
he's gonna get three hundred or about four hundred, seven
hundred and sixty five million dollar contract federal, state, and
municipal government taxes.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
They're gonna collect between three hundred sixty four and three
hundred sixty three hundred and eighty six million in taxes
on that contract.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So go buy a lot of a lot of things
and pay a lot of salaries for the government.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show as we are rolling on.
And if you would like to be.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
The slow Yeah, when they found hill Christmas small.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
At the scene of the Italian it is I Bill Miller,
Happy Holidays, John Did and couple of legends Rest in peace,
beer drinking Brian. Believe this is a J. Scoop song
if I remember correctly. Go Chris baces a good amount
of time there in the Ukraine. He's back. We're gonna
(16:43):
get him on the show at some point. So that's
the stories from his trip to the Ukraine. I was
in Ohio, I was close. Jay Scoop made one as well, Ryan,
but Ohio. Most of these come from Ohio. But Jays,
we'll be back. He made a song he has he

Speaker 1 (17:27):
You listen all night in the morning here at Ben
Mahler also FSR tech queen for Loraina and a Bronco
fan for the Kobaloop.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And you could promote the show. You can be part
of our guerrilla marketing campaign. We have no advertising budget.
Nobody even knows we exist other than word of mouth advertising.
And we learned earlier if you go back and hear
the podcast that the show does very well in a
country in northern Africa, Mariitania and you the hero of Desert.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
We have a lot of downloads.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We've determined we think that there's a lot of our
listeners there in the international podcast download section because that
is where the world's largest ship graveyard is. So we
don't know that we're right about this. We assume that
there's some American workers there that are going through the
old ships.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
That are at the graveyard, the ship graveyard there, and.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
They listen to us while they're is it is it?
I don't know what determines. I saw a documentary on this.
It was actually very interesting. Take that Forgatta I forgot
So I don't want to say something, but it would
sound terrible, and I don't want to say that word
because then it'll be made into a drop.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And no, I'm not gonna say it. I'm not I'm
not gonna say it.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We began this hour where they Bill Belichick Mallard monologue.
Kevin in Florida writes in and says, maybe Bill Belichick
no longer cares about the Don Schulee record because he
knows that Andy Ree is going to blow past both
of them. Well, that's not a bad take, knowing Belichick
a little bit from his public persona. Though Belichick is
(19:06):
arrogant enough to think that he would do so well
in the NFL that, yeah, Andy Reid's gonna win a lot,
but Belichick's gonna go somewhere and be back on top
of the mountain and it's gonna be fine and everything
be great. But yeah, as long as Andy Reid keeps
his health in check. There with the Chiefs, Andy Reid
(19:26):
is fourth all time, and he's thirty two wins behind
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Thirty two wins, which seems like a lot. That seems
like a lot. He's coached three years less.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Than Belichick in the NFL as a head coach. Belichick
coach twenty nine, Andy Reids at twenty six. Let's say
Kansas City they win at least three more games this
year in the regular season, we'll give him another loss.
Let's say they win three more games. That gets him
to two seventy three, and so then you do the
math on that, and he is he's thirty two right now,
(20:04):
so he'd be twenty nine back. That's at least Kansas
is going minimum twelve games a year the next couple
of years, So he'd have to coach three more years
Andy Reid, and then he would pass Belichick by but
he's still fifty eight wins away.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
From Don Schuler.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
So a lot of fun with numbers, fun with numbers.
They said there would be no numbers. Fun with numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Stephen met Pauls who loves the Dolphins he's in Florida,
also says no, no, no, Ben brainstem. Billy is dumb,
but he's not stupid. Shula's three hundred forty seven wins
is off the radar. Andy Reid is going to surpass
both of them in five minus six years, so it's
a moot point. Plus he knows he's lost his edge
(20:58):
in the pros and his son sucks, so back to
school for both.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Says Stevie Meatballs.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, I've not heard any rumors about Andy Reid like
retiring or anything like that, although usually you don't make
those decisions. See, Andy's sixty six years old, and if
he can coach another four years, he's gonna have to
go five. Yeah, I need to have to go to
like seventy one or so sixty six right now. So
(21:29):
if he can get four more years, he'll definitely pass
Belichick and George Hallis. And but he's got to get
that he's got to get that five year period and
Mahomes has to stay healthy all five years. I just
love the fact that when Andy Reid took over as
the head coach of the Eagles many many years ago,
I took over as he coach.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
Come back.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's been twenty five years and I was doing local
sports radio in LA and our producer said, I booked
Andy Reid.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I said, who the f is Andy Reid?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And the producers like, well, he's a quarterback coach for
the Green Bay Packers, but he's going to be the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Said coach. I said, well, why are we having He's
from LA.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, he worked as a vendor at Dodger Stadium
and all that stuff, and it was fine, it was great.
And he talked about eating. Most of the interviews about
him eating Tommy's cheeseburgers, Huli cheeseburgers, and then he would
go on to have this amazing career coaching.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I mean, the guy got to a Super Bowl with
Andy Reid.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Or Adie Reeve got to Super Bowl with Donovan McNab,
excuse me with Donovan McNab. Puked my god, Justin and
Cincinnati says the Africans loved the show. That is one
of the all time great photos. Justin Femi the Uber.
Each driver in Minnesota took that. I actually have a
copy of the pizza. That is one of my favorite
(22:47):
photos from doing the show. And it's a bunch of
children there in Africa and they've got a giant poster
of our show. I have no idea who I am,
but they're posing for the photo and there.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Looks like their pajamas. They're just outstanding. Let's go to
the phones. Let's say hello to.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Eenie Meenie, miney Moe. Angry Bill is up next. Hello
Angry Bill in Florida. Who's got his Max Freed bobblehead
out right now?
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Not really, Ben, The Yankees are what they are. They're proven.
That doesn't matter. They don't know how to develop players,
and they'll go somewhere along the line screw up there.
They don't know how to run a team.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
They don't know the way you just called up yesterday.
I said you wanted them to spend the money that
we're gonna spend on one Sodo, on pitchers like Max Freed.
They have now signed Max Freed and now you don't care.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
No, I don't care if I'm a winning Okay, I don't.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
I want them to win. But the problem they have
is they don't have people capable of running the team. Okay,
But my point of my phone call today is about
none other than Kaitlin Clark. She she not only generated
money for the WNBA it's forty five million a year.
She generated thirty eight million dollars for the town she
played in. She just got put on the front page
(24:11):
of Time magazine, not ESPN, not Playboy, Time magazine and
would go to the athlete of the year, that male athlete,
no woman athlete, athlete.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
Of the year.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
This woman is unbelievable. She is going to keep going
on and on and on. But you don't want to
talk about her. Why talk about a person's just got
put on the front page of Time magazine.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
If you know the zay build, nobody reads Time magazine.
You might, but nobody under the age of like seventy
reads Time magazine.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I know it's blue and red, now, Ben, it's blue
and red. If it's readit is blue a year, it's blue. Regid.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Magazines were very when I was a kid. Magazines were big,
but nobody reads them now, I don't even.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
When you were.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
When you were you were big. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
That is true. I was big. Yes, I'm small now,
but thank you. All right, there's angry Bill.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Let's say hello to Mike the Leprechaun, who is in
the Commonwealth. Hello, Mike the Leprecaun, Good.
Speaker 10 (25:14):

Speaker 3 (25:26):
How's she cutting them?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The only phrase, the only phrase I use, little Leprechaun,
is the haze in the barn. I use that. Yeah,
that means the show is ready to go. The Hayes
in the barn. We say done the world.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
You don't have to you don't have to get all
the f I mean the in the barn, the haze

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'd like to welcome them. Are they part of the
Mallad militia. They're still they're just trying out. They're figuring
out what they do. They have ambitions to be a
famous caller like Mike the Leprechaun. Do they want to
reach your level of status on the show?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Are they hungry like a wolf to be as famous
as you?
Speaker 10 (26:29):
Okay, I'm gonna do my song and I head back
on music, so let me start. It's mister Grinch, all right, m.
Speaker 11 (26:46):
You're allowed one Ben Mallor the Sillly mail Or show.

thank you for that Christmas songs. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Douglas writes in from Mississippi, says, any idea what happened
to Half Pint? Is she still alive or listening? Well,
I did actually hear from half Pint, although it's very odd.
I think I mentioned this on the podcast one of
these weekends. But I got a message on Facebook from.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
The beer drinking Brian.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Account, and he's been dead for a number of years,
and it was half Pint using his Facebook page to
contact me saying that she wanted to call into the show.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
She was asking what the number was. Of course we've
used the same number for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
But anyway, she's out there still, but she never actually
called in, so I don't know what happened. Super Market
Steve Wright since says angry Bill needs to stop with
this Caitlin Clark stick. Everyone knows that I was the
first one to ever bring up her name on the
show and to chastise you for not announcing when she
broke a record. Now, congratulations, Now you're fighting over Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
What a bunch of losers. Fergdog says Ben, what is
a magazine? It's a great question. It's great.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It's something that used to be very important, but then
this thing called the Internet came up, and then.
Speaker 1 (28:56):

I did want to mention there's a big controversy involving
the father. Marcel. Do you hear what happened with Larry
Fitzgerald's father? Do you hear about this?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, So Larry Fitzgerald was a star with the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
His father is a Minnesota sports writer, and his dad
sent out Larry Fitzgerald's dad sent out of comment on
social media saying that he knows that Randy Moss is
suffering from a certain type of cancer. But no, he
hasn't died, but he took a leave of absence and
(29:47):
so Randy Moss did not release this information.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Randy Moss's son said, this is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You have no right to try to make private matters
public for the sake of engagement. I do not believe
my father talked you, so check your effing sources and
he denied that the report is accurate.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
But we don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
But it was just very odd Larry Fitzgerald's father, like
of all the people, of all the people, what in
the world, As.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Jackie Slater would say, what are you doing? Like serious?
This reminds memory Kurt Shilling.

before they both passed away.
